Board Training with Anti-Taxpayer Lobby Group
The Superintendent’s report promotes board training with the Texas Association of School Boards (TASB). TASB is a taxpayer-funded lobby that actively works in Austin to oppose property tax relief, parental rights, and educational freedom.
Response
ASK THE HARD QUESTIONS: Contact the Navarro ISD Board (see the Official Agenda link for contact info). Ask regarding Item 9.A.2: ‘Why is the district spending taxpayer money to send board members to be trained by TASB, an organization that lobbies against the interests of those same taxpayers? Please seek training from pro-taxpayer, pro-parent organizations instead.’
💰 Impact: Taxpayer-Funded Lobbying

District-Wide Push for Social-Emotional Learning (SEL)
The district and all campus improvement plans call for implementing Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) programs, including the “Character Strong” curriculum. These programs often shift focus from core academics to subjective emotional and behavioral instruction, which can be a vehicle for controversial ideologies.
Response
DEMAND THE DETAILS: Contact the Navarro ISD Board (see the Official Agenda link for contact info). Ask regarding Item 7.A: ‘What is the total cost of the Character Strong curriculum and any associated training? Parents deserve to review all SEL materials and have a clear opt-out process before they are used in the classroom.’
💰 Impact: Politicizing the Classroom

Vague Title — Manual Review Required
The board is set to approve the purchase of new library materials for three schools under the consent agenda, bundling it with routine items. The specific list of books and materials being purchased is not included in the agenda packet, preventing public review before the vote.
Response
DEMAND A RECORDED VOTE: Email the Navarro ISD Board (see the Official Agenda link for contact info): ‘I demand Consent Item 10.E be pulled from the Consent Agenda for separate discussion and a roll-call vote. The public deserves to see the full list of library materials before our money is spent.’

Vague Title — Manual Review Required
The district is approving a “White Fleet Purchase” on the consent agenda without disclosing the number of vehicles, the specific models, or the total cost. This prevents taxpayers from assessing whether the purchase is a necessary operational expense or an unnecessary luxury.
Response
INVESTIGATE: Open the file attached in the Official Agenda (linked above) to confirm the cost and necessity of this vehicle purchase. Email the Board: ‘Item 10.G for a fleet purchase must be pulled from consent for a full discussion. How many vehicles are being bought and what is the total cost?’
💰 Impact: Undisclosed
